[Adequate-!! Lorenz looks up, frowning, because of course he didn't stop to check for mistletoe, he's in a Mood--]

You and I are not friends, nor are we allies, so pardon me for doubting the innocence of your intentions. Any reasonable man in your position would have moved on as soon as he recognized me, and yet!

[So it's the secret conspiracy to humiliate him thing, again. He makes a face then, pointedly not looking at Sylvain. Mmmm mmm, he shouldn't, ugh-]

"Adequate"?

[Oh good, he's finally been let go. He huffs and makes a show of straightening his vest, tugging his sleeve cuffs... Much better. There likely isn't any sense in pointing out how a familiar face is not nearly enough to "count as something," he thinks, so that only earns a grim hmm.]

Your concern for my welfare is so touching. [dry...] Not that it's any of your business, but under the proper circumstances, I enjoy kissing just as well as anyone else.

[A beat, pointed. Ahem. Anyway. The "game," ugh.]

You need to work on your compliments.

[Performance anxiety!!!!]

Ahaha— you know, it's quite reassuring to find that after all these years, you still behave like the lout you were at the Academy. Vapid and one-note all the way down; I was nearly afraid you'd gone through any kind of personal development.

[sorry bud........

Lorenz puffs himself up a bit, giving his hair a little flip. Hmph.]


If you so desperately want me to prove my skills to you, you will have to keep your hands to yourself.

[That's absolutely the handful of food and drink he's had from this awful place talking, but like, just... stand there?]

[This guy. Lorenz grinds his teeth for a moment, but manages to resist absolutely flipping out for, like, the third time? Fourth? Unimportant.]

You misunderstand me yet again— Your hands have grabbed at me enough for one day, and so must remain at your sides; mine are under no such obligation.

Hardly. A training dummy would provide better conversation.

[Ha HA take THAT-- anyway this is absolutely not an admission of kissing a training dummy, don't even start. He ignores the crooked finger for both of their sakes - Sylvain might as well not have hands! It's real! - and steps back in closer, on purpose, considering Sylvain with a slight cant of his head. Perhaps if he pretends Sylvain is still some anonymous redhead...

Whatever. He cups his cheek with one hand, settling his other hand down on his hip - honestly, a little bit just to be annoying about the whole hands thing - and leans in to kiss him before he does something else infuriating like wiggling his eyebrows. It isn't hasty and indignant this time but softer, slower like one might kiss an actual lover.

Let the record show: he's better at kissing when he's not constantly pigtail-pulling and having an episode about mistletoe. Kissing the rude little smirk off Sylvain's face is a bonus, for sure, but mostly Lorenz isn't thinking about that. No, despite it all, it's easy to focus on Sylvain's mouth warm against his.

(Let the record show, 2: ugh, he's going to be so insufferable)]

[He, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester, a coward?? Perish the thought! Perish as well the thought of this, letting Sylvain provoke him this far, but - well, at least he can prove him wrong about the training dummy.

(It helps, of course, that even without letting Sylvain touch him he still feels that residual bloom of warmth, like earlier—probably a trick of this place, but whatever.)

All things considered. Each piece weighed against the others, and separately. All things thoroughly considered, he... does prefer Sylvain keeping his hands behind his back. Who knew he could listen! So maybe Lorenz does tilt his head just so, and part his lips invitingly, although not without a light hmm against Sylvain's mouth, so he doesn't suddenly become obnoxious about it.

It's certainly preferable to being pestered and mocked about his kissing prowess. Hmph. He slips one hand around to the back of Sylvain's neck and the other up from his hip, actually, to rove a little directionlessly over his chest.]

he'll do it again

[They've cracked the code on this one--

Now, it would be... weird, for Sylvain to not participate even if he can't use his hands; it would be very strange, and Lorenz acknowledges that, and yet he still feels the press of Sylvain's tongue and assumes that this is another scenario in which every possible response eventually leads to yet another "ha ha silly Gloucester you are so stuck up and unworldly" moment, which.

Well. In his defense, that's already happened here, like, twice. So he pushes back instead, intending to stay in the lead with more heat to the kiss and teeth tugging at Sylvain's lower lip.

Impatiently drumming his fingers on his chest is just the Lorenz Extraness Moment, as a bonus.]

[Oh, it's a tense two seconds for Lorenz, for sure. Sylvain can undoubtedly feel the way he stiffens (and not in the fun way) like he's preparing to nip all this in the bud, the tension going out of him unevenly only when Sylvain, ah- makes little noises and leans into him like that.

It's not what he expects; beyond mockery, he'd have thought Sylvain would only ever want to be blustering on about his many skills by charging on ahead. Hm.

Well, he's learned something new, he supposes. He hums into Sylvain's mouth, like, thoughtfully? He's evaluating even now, weighing the situation at the same time as exploring the inside of Sylvain's mouth. One of them tastes like those gaudy cocktails, maybe both - it's hard to tell.

After a moment Lorenz dips his hand down, fingers tracing Sylvain's chest and around his side to grip one of his wrists. Without pulling away from the kiss he holds for another beat and then taps a finger against Sylvain's hand, pointedly. He may have one hand, for good behavior.]

[For a moment Lorenz wonders if he'll have to actually say it out loud, or if Sylvain will take the cue-- and then he wonders if Sylvain will immediately ruin this tenuous, mm, nice thing? This is - good. If only because he assumes Sylvain will ruin it on purpose, and he hasn't yet.

But ah, he's with the program, problem averted. And it's not only good-because-no-one-ruined-it, it's good because it's good, the feeling of fingers in his hair and against his scalp sending a shiver through him, undeniably compelling. He slides his fingers up to Sylvain's shirt collar and then dips just barely past it, settling against the column of his throat. Ignore that his hands are a little cold, that just happens.

The thing at the back of his mind that pulls a string taut suspiciously every time Sylvain so much as twitches finally doesn't, for once; Lorenz makes a noise that is... tentative approval, when Sylvain kisses him deeper. He slides his tongue against the other's, licking into his mouth as invitingly as he can muster.]

[Oh, he's tense; Lorenz wonders briefly if that's apprehension or anticipation, but he lacks the, ah, expertise to be able to tell instinctually. So his hand remains where it is, still save for the lightest brush of his thumb against the other's skin.

The tug in his hair is a lot more clear, at least. He makes a noise, brief and low with the feeling that it would be a little chiding if his mouth wasn't otherwise occupied. Yes, yes, he gets it-- he presses further into Sylvain's mouth, kissing him deeply again, and then - pulls back, to press a kiss to the other's lower lip, then down to his jaw, and on... He's maybe accepting comments now.]

[Of course, on cue, there's Sylvain's commentary. Lorenz pauses to sigh shortly against his neck, tipping his head to continue his ministrations anyway. He can multitask between being annoyed and doing this other, less annoying thing.

At least Sylvain has the decency to react to the downward trend of his lips; that's nearly good of him.]


I knew you were incorrigible, of course, [muttered against his skin, this, and punctuated by another kiss,] but I had presumed your dedication to self-sabotage was, hm, unintentional.

[Trying to tick him off while he's being so nice and generous? Sylvain!]

I should have realized from the start that you would deem me mediocre regardless of anything actually observed. That much is my own mistake, I will admit.

[Another sigh! Woe is Lorenz, yet again. And yet he's still giving Sylvain this attention, despite it all.]

Is it working?

[Is this what Sylvain considers working?? Sure, Lorenz has kissed him quite a few times and in various places, but is that Working... Is that Successful...

He's not going to argue that Sylvain definitely implied he's mediocre, because he absolutely did; he simply scoffs and rolls his eyes, which Sylvain doesn't even see! The nerve! But ah, the press of lips down his neck is - pleasant, enough that he generously pushes his hair out of the way without comment.

Well, almost. Must Sylvain nibble at him. His shirt collar goes only so high.]


Mind yourself.
